F10 M5 Spotted - Production Bootlid Spoiler and Silverstone Color
BIMMERPOST NEWS BMW F10 M5 spotted at Airport Here's a case of history repeating. Every now and then, the Schiphol airport in the Netherlands is a good place for a prototype spotting. Some might remember the pictures of E92 335i and an E90 M3 prototypes years ago, today it's an F10 M5 protoype in its late testing stage (FEP), courtesy of Autojunk.nl. These shots are the first allowing us a clear look at the M5 bootlid spoiler and in the silverstone color (which looks to be a future production color). Other production trim equipment like side mirrors, side skirts and bumpers are also prevalent but still masked. The M5 will be powered by a twin-turbo twin-scroll 4.4l V8 with more than 555hp, mated exclusively to a Double Clutch Transmission. Expect a first appearance of the M5 dubbed as a concept in April with the production version being the star of the Frankfurt Motor Show in September. Exciting year!

More than 555hp. Hmm. I'm guessing 600hp.

Looks just like a 550 M-Sport. I was expecting a bit of a wider body in the rear

Look back on the history of M5s you'll find that they never receive any major body modifications beyond the front and rear fascia. M5's have never had wider fenders than stock, not that it wouldn't be nice to see.

I believe the last generation did have wider fenders. That was the only model to receive it.

When I bought my 135i there was an X3 on the floor a few days before the official release and all of the roundels were covered with blue tape, as well as the "X3" marking. Seems kind of silly.
